Section 8 Company Incorporation

We support the incorporation process by helping organise the proposed structure, objectives, documentation and procedural requirements. Registration and licensing remain subject to the applicable statutory process and decisions of the competent authority.

MOA & AOA Structuring

The Memorandum and Articles of Association form an important part of the organisation's constitutional framework. We support structuring and documentation based on the proposed objects, governance requirements and operating model, with specialist professional inputs coordinated where required.

Object & Activity Structuring

Clear alignment between stated objects and proposed activities can support governance, regulatory and operational clarity. We assist in organising the objects and activity framework based on the organisation's intended social or institutional purpose.

MCA & ROC Compliance

Section 8 Companies may have recurring and event-based corporate compliance requirements. We support relevant documentation and compliance coordination, including related requirements covered under ROC & MCA Compliance.

Board & General Meeting Compliance

Governance decisions should be supported by appropriate meeting processes, approvals and records. We assist with board and general meeting documentation and compliance within the agreed scope.

Corporate Governance

A practical governance framework can help define responsibilities, decision-making processes, approvals and records. Related institutional requirements can also be supported through Governance & Compliance Framework advisory.

12AB & 80G Advisory

We support documentation and professional coordination relating to charitable tax registration and donation-related approvals. Detailed requirements can be addressed through Charitable Tax Registration & Donation-Related Approvals. Eligibility, registration and approval remain subject to applicable law and the competent authority.

Accounting & Financial Reporting

Reliable accounting records and financial reporting support better governance and compliance. We assist with accounting and financial reporting requirements, including support available through Accounting & Financial Support for Institutions.

Audit Preparation & Documentation Support

We help organisations prepare and organise records required for audit or professional review. Where an audit, certification or assurance engagement must be performed by an appointed or qualified professional, that function remains with the relevant independent professional.

CSR-Related Advisory

Where Section 8 Companies participate in CSR-related arrangements or projects, we support relevant documentation, compliance and coordination requirements based on the organisation's role and the applicable framework.

Grant & Donation Compliance

Grants and donations may involve conditions, documentation, accounting records, utilisation requirements and regulatory considerations. We support organisations in structuring and maintaining relevant compliance documentation within the agreed scope.

Regulatory Compliance

Section 8 Companies may be subject to multiple corporate, tax and sector-specific obligations. We assist with compliance review and documentation and coordinate related regulatory matters where required.

Corporate Documentation

Clear corporate records support governance and institutional continuity. We assist with resolutions, approvals, registers and other corporate documentation relevant to the organisation's ongoing operations.

Integrated Advisory for Non-Profit & Institutional Organisations

Depending on the organisation's structure and funding model, Section 8 Company matters may overlap with charitable tax registrations, foreign contributions, accounting and institutional compliance. Related requirements can be coordinated with FCRA & Foreign Contribution-Related Advisory and other relevant professional support.

LegaFin provides advisory, documentation preparation, compliance support and professional coordination based on the agreed scope and information made available. Incorporation, Section 8 licensing, 12AB or 80G registration, CSR eligibility, regulatory approvals and other statutory outcomes remain subject to applicable law and decisions of the relevant authorities. Audit, certification, assurance, attestation, legal opinions, statutory filings and authorised representation requiring specific professional qualification, registration or appointment are undertaken by appropriately qualified or authorised professionals where required. No registration, approval, tax benefit, funding, donation eligibility, processing timeline or regulatory outcome is guaranteed.
